SSP 6. From Bodybuilder to NHL VIP: Trevor Timmins - a podcast by Scott Abel, Mike Forest

Scott and Mike interviewed Trevor Timmins. Trevor is Vice President of Player Personnel and Director of Amateur Scouting for the National Hockey League’s Montreal Canadiens. What this means is Trevor is the guy running the NHL entry draft for the team, so he spends each year working with an entire team, scouting around both North America and Europe preparing for that draft. Trevor in particular was responsible for drafting NHL superstars like Carey Price, PK Subban, and others.



This episode is a must for everyone interested in high-level success, whether you’re an NHL fan, a bodybuilder, or just looking to improve your physique or your career.



What most people don’t know about Trevor is that he is a former bodybuilder, and he actually hired Scott as his coach for his first few bodybuilding shows. Trevor now stays lean and ripped year round, despite an insane schedule and a high-pressure job.



In part 1, we talked a lot about how Trevor progressed through his career, starting at the bottom with the new Ottawa Senators hockey team in the early 90s, and rising from there. Scott stressed that he knew — just knew — early on that Trevor was going to go far.



From there we discussed what Trevor looks for in young players who are going to be thrust into the spotlight at age 19 or 20 playing elite high-level hockey.



So there was a lot about mindset here, and what makes a champion, and what scouts are looking for beyond just skill level.
